KonoSuba Chapter 82: Planning completed, commence action! (Patreon)

“Retreat?”

Sato Hikaru looked at Darkness with a strange look and confusedly asked: “Why do we want to retreat with such a good opportunity?”

“Eh? Bu, but…”

Sato Hikaru’s strange rebuttal stunned Darkness and said ‘but’ for quite a while before her mind was clear and asked for explanation: “Shouldn’t you guys have been found that we need to take action to cover for your escape?”

“Who said that it was because we were found and needed to escape that we needed you to make a distraction, huh?”

Blinking his eyes, Sato Hikaru asked strangely: “If we were found out, it was simple, we would just break in, wasn’t it enough? Just place the blade on the pig’s neck, I do not believe that he would still lie.”

“No…aren’t you being overboard?”

Hearing Sato Hikaru’s words, Darkness quickly held Sato Hikaru’s shoulder and persuaded.

“No matter what, he is a kingdom’s noble, if you really did that, even if we could prove his crime, it will also bring about many problems to you. The other nobles would definitely not allow such a thing to happen.”

“I know, that’s why I considered sneaking in.”

While waving his hand, Sato Hikaru spoke as a matter-of-factly: “So there is no need to worry, this is something that will be done as a last resort.”

“How could this attitude of yours not make others worry…”

“Then you should go and feel worried, I will go and speak to Chris about our plan to sneak in.”

Looking at Chris, who looked a bit eager to try, after hearing that we are going on a ‘killing spree’, Sato Hikaru waved his hand in front of Chris’ face: “Stop thinking about it, that was a final resort, only when all the plan that we have laid out have failed that we would do that.”

“You already have two plans so quickly!?”

“Of course! Why don’t you look at who I am!”

Looking at all the surprised lady, Sato Hikaru intentionally coughed, then changed the conversation: “Although the first plan is pure sneaking, then try to investigate separately.”

“Is this considered a plan?”

“Obviously not so simple.”

Shrugging, Sato Hikaru gave an analysis to the ladies: “According to Alderps’ bad reputation, presumably I would also be worried about the servants in the mansion.

“So, Alderp would definitely not dare to let other people in the mansion know about the one who helped him affect the investigation to find the evidence. As such, places where the servants often passed through could be skipped. The focus on the place that needs to be investigated would be a more private area, such as his bedroom, study room, it is best to also check for secret passages, like the basement or something, the attic also could not be left out, these places were the important areas to be checked!”

Hearing Sato Hikaru’s analysis, the surrounding ladies nodded their heads, showing that they had no problem with this matter.

Only then did Sato Hikaru continue: “Then, if nothing was found after we had checked the stated areas, then we would commence the second plan.”

Showing two fingers, Sato Hikaru continued: “Plan 2, intentionally made some commotion, for example, intentionally make an explosion that made the servants panic, or just break the window to make it looked like someone is escaping, telling the people in the mansion that someone was sneaking in and was found!”

“Afterwards, we will find a place to sneak again, and wait until Megumin uses her explosion magic to attract people. If there are still many people inside the mansion, we will continue to wait, waiting until the fog raised by Yunyun attracts the rest of the people before we continue.

“This time, we do not need to check one by one, we could just follow Alderp’s movement. After all, considering Alderp as someone who had done a lot of evil deeds, compared to the loss of some money and assets to thieves, he would obviously consider the person who had helped him cover up his crime to be more important…”

“When that time comes, he will definitely find the first possible opportunity to make sure of the safety of that thing, so we only need to follow Alderp and we can definitely find that thing!”

“This is my plan. Do you have anything to add?”

After hearing the plan, the ladies were silent for a long time before they finally shook their heads.

From their perspective, this plan was already perfect, there was nothing left to add.

“Unfortunately, the time was too rushed, there was no time to consider more things.”

However, Sato Hikaru frowned, seemingly still not satisfied with the plan.

“If Alderp did not disperse everyone right away to investigate, or that item was not in the mansion, but was hidden in another place, then we would have wasted tonight.”

While speaking, Sato Hikaru looked at Chris: “But, we do not need to worry about that, even if there was no harvest, if we want to escape, it is still easy. When that time comes, after the combat power within the mansion had been attracted by Darkness and the rest, we will just sneak out from the main gate, I think we would not be discovered.”

“That…”

Seeing that Sato Hikaru was dissatisfied that everyone did not add something, Chris thickened her face and asked.

“What if Alderp was too worried, and did not dispatch the guards to chase Darkness and the rest, but chose to let the guards protect the mansion, and completely surrounded the mansion, how should we leave?”

“I have also considered this point.”

Faced with Chris’ question, Sato Hikaru waved his hand: “When that time comes, I’ll just fly away with you, since tonight is very dark, in order to protect the mansion, the guards’ attention would be on the surrounding grass, the sky becomes very safe.”

Finished speaking, Sato Hikaru once again confirmed with everyone: “Is there any other question? If not, then the planning is complete, everyone starts to move!”
